Montgomery's Rolls-Royce.
This is a piece of history.
I've never worked on a car this valuable.
You have to finish on time, for Pete's sake.
I'm just going to be really tricky and set the deadline even earlier.
Jamie, they've brought the deadline forward.
You are kidding.
We've lost three weeks.
It's impossible.
We go racing again.
Anthony, you and I are our drivers.
This feels great!
It's nearly three years since the smallest cog opened its doors.
The business still owes me a fortune.
I've been hiding bank statements.
I'm basically running a social club.
So it's time for a big shake-up.
Clock in in the morning, clock on to our job.
The dawn of a new era.
But not everyone likes change.
I'm very nervous about all of it.
This isn't going to tell me what to do.
It won't tell me nothing, is it?
We make history with our most important restoration yet.
Did Montgomery or Churchill ever imagine you sitting in it?
Probably not.
The work must be completed on time.
Oh, she's eager.
Can we race into a bright new future with me at the wheel?
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
So, Kamla, it turns out you're a bit
of an accountant to the stars, then.
How long have you worked for Johnny?
24 years. I'm expecting a go at...
With our new manager in place, things are looking up at the cog.
So in an effort to promote the business,
my accountant Kamla has landed me a radio interview
with another of her clients, Mr Johnny Vaughan.
It's an opportunity to talk about, if nothing else, a bit of PR.
We can promote the company, get the word out there.
Now we've got a workshop manager, everything will be managed better
and this could drum up more business.
Thank you.
This way.
Hello.
Richard and Kamla, we're here to see John Ball.
Yeah.
Going in.
Where am I?
This one.
Yeah, this one, yeah.
Hello.
Thank you very much, TC.
Richard Hammond's here to talk about Richard Hammond's workshop.
Is it a real business or is it a TV business?
It is a real business, yes.
I feel like a mother hen watching over my boys.
How much do you restore cars? How bad can it get?
We do everything, Johnny, from just if you've backed it
into a bollard at the supermarket car park
to if it's incredibly valuable and needs rebuilding from the ground up.
Those are the jobs we love.
Okay, I've got a 22-year-old Maserati. It's only done 15,000 miles.
All the knobs in it, everything, the housing around the steering wheel,
they've gone, that rubber thing where it goes all sticky.
Oh, right, yes. I think you might need new knobs, mate.
The two of these are getting on so well.
Um, I might actually get, um,
two BFF bracelets with each other's names on and give them one each.
Bring it down to the smallest cog,
which is on the Rollerwells Estate in Hereford.
Bring it along, we'll have a look.
So I can pop by and you can sort this out or help me sort it out?
Yes, we can have a cup of tea whilst looking at it.
Okay, okay.
Richard Hammond, ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you! Nice to see you!
So Richard's out touting for work,
as he should be, which is really good,
but this Rolls-Royce,
they've just brought the deadline forward by three weeks.
So even though we've brought Matt in, we're not going to make it.
We've got no chance, so I need more hands on deck.
Luckily for me, I know a guy
which is absolutely fantastic on the bodywork at Painside, Callum.
So I gave him a call yesterday and luckily he said yes,
so he's coming in today.
And hopefully, fingers crossed, we get it finished.
We've got no choice, we have to get it done. We've got no choice.
Good morning.
Good morning, how are we?
Good, thanks for coming mate.
Come on through, I'll show you what we're doing.
So this is it, this is the car, we've got to get it finished.
It's just a cool car, isn't it?
I just want to get a crack at it.
The Rolls-Royce is the most important car I've ever done, ever.
Now we've got Callum helping Matt,
we've got a fighting chance to get that car ready for D-Day.
If we let those veterans down, I would have to hang up my spray gun.
So I'm really glad we've
got some help to get it
finished, get it done.
I'm out and about today and one of the little missions I'm
on is to visit my old friend Richard Hammond.
Now Jamie, the new manager at The Smallest Cog,
he has said, quite rightly, that if you want to go racing,
you're going to have to fund it.
And it's not coming out of Cog money.
That means no racing, and that means a very unhappy little Richard.
And we don't want that, do we?
Because he can be a scratchy little fluff cat
if he doesn't get his own way.
So I've had an idea for the race car, i.e. sponsorship.
Come on, my lord,
it fits.
Oh yes, again.
Oh, I've got that going off the track feeling now.
Oh!
I'm on the grass, but...
Oh yes, this is much more like the real thing.
Hammond?
Richard?
Hello, Hammond?
Hello? I'm up on the mezzanine.
Ah, hello.
Oh, I see. What's this?
Well, now, this is me.
Is this a toy or is this serious work?
This is me taking very seriously the fact
that I'll be representing the smallest cog
at the wheel of our race car soon.
And I've realized I don't know my way around any race tracks.
So this is Alton Park?
This is Alton Park. I'm learning it, ready for when I race.
I'm even talking to you whilst staying broadly on the track.
I'm glad you're taking it seriously.
Why are you here?
I've been doing a little bit of blue-sky, out-of-the-box thinking.
Have you, as Global Director of PR?
Yes, indeed.
Your new manager, Mr. Pocket,
is now hanging on to some funds, as you know.
So you can't take any money out for the car.
So the idea is, we need some global sponsors, with Big Wonga.
To pay for you and the car.
We'll have some event or something
and invite a couple of potential sponsors round.
Maybe give them a little glass of Prosecco
and then say, look, you can have your logo here,
your name is there.
Might raise some proper money.
Yes.
Well, I mean, to pay for this toy for a start.
Mate, that is actually not a bad idea.
I think that is worth investigating.
All right, Richard, give it some thought.
Give it the full majesty of your mind.
And I will leave you in your teenage bedroom
to do one of the things that teenagers do.
Thank you.
And I'll go make myself a coffee.
OK.
Cheers.
I could be a bit sulky about Jamie
refusing to let the smallest cog
bankroll our racing efforts,
but I kind of get it.
It's fair enough.
I mean, there's no point in him making the business profitable
and then squandering it all on playing race cars at the weekends.
And Zog is on to something with his sponsorship, I think.
We have raised sponsorship money before, albeit in a small way,
but maybe with my little famous face involved,
we can up the amounts and actually cover the costs.
Though, obviously, if we are going to up the game and raise more money,
we will have to up our game on the racetrack.
I'm crushed into a wall!
Waiting for a visitor today, Johnny Vaughan.
Radio and television presenting legend.
He said he'd got a Maserati that needed some work.
So he's bringing it in, which is good.
Quite nice if we became, you know,
workshopped to the celebrities, to the stars.
They've all got cars, haven't they? They'd quite like them done.
We'll try it out on Johnny.
You all ready?
Yeah, morning.
All ready for our celebrity customer, Johnny Vaughan, arriving shortly.
Be respectful, but don't overdo it.
We'll be good, we'll behave.
No red carpet, then.
I've met celebrities before.
Oh, yeah, wow.
Look what I've got there.
Oh, I like
the look of it.
It looks like a Bond villain car.
Oh, it's a proper thing, isn't it?
Hello.
How are you?
What is the problem?
Talk us through it again.
You talked me through it,
but we were on the radio and I wasn't listening.
Okay, so the first problem is all these buttons are sticky.
All of them.
And the surface.
I remember sticky buttons.
Feel, feel, feel.
And also, this is a cold day.
All that is...
So this is not at maximum stickiness.
Also, other thing,
there's always an orange engine warning light is always on.
I think that's it.
Have you crashed it?
Is there any damage?
Are we bodily?
No, no.
This was the one my dog crashed.
English Bulldog.
Harvey, my first one.
Exactly how did he come to crash your car then?
I stopped the car and laid back in a parking zone.
And for some reason, I put it in neutral.
And I went round the back of the car, tried to get him out.
He's now jumped over.
As he jumped over, he's nudged the stick into drive.
Wait, and you're in the passenger seat?
I'm in the passenger seat.
He now sits on the accelerator.
Genius.
He is now driving.
Yeah, with his arse on the accelerator.
So we're now accelerating at maximum.
So we've hit a Renault Megane,
which hit a Golf GTI,
which hit a BMW 540,
and then the BMW then hits a skip
and the whole lot stops.
How did the police respond to that story then?
Oh, yeah.
Honestly, my dog was driving.
Oh, you've been?
No, I called up the insurance people.
I said, so am I insured for that?
And he said, no, I'm sorry, he's not a named driver.
Thank you, man.
T, let's go, that's what's up.
Johnny Vaughan's
Maserati.
Ooh, what a thing.
It's got this sticky gear stick knob and button situation.
Now, I've looked into it, you can send it all off
to a specialised place and have it all done,
deep clean, blah blah blah.
But I've got a plan that I think might work,
so we're going to give that a go first.
We've got this very special chemical here,
which is used by aerospace industries, very special.
NASA, I do believe.
It's a kitchen cleaner, but I think it's going to do the job.
I reckon this is the plastics melted,
this is the oils in that plastic, it's got hot in the sun.
That's working now, look at that, better than sending it off.
That stuff probably cost less than a postage to send it off.
We'll rebrand this now, made in Italy,
Maserati button cleaner, £420 a bottle.
The thing is Richard's really keen to get this job done
and done right because celebrity jobs
could be a really nice niche market for the cog
and yes yes they've all got plenty of money it's
more about trust they want to take their cars somewhere they can trust
and that's good for them
good for us and good for Richard, that's my work done
and a job well done, no more stickiness.
Next thing is I'm going to hand it over
to Isaac to sort out the electrical issues
and on an old Italian car, well, that's going to be fun.
Best of luck, Isaac.
I'm grabbing a few minutes of peace,
a few rare minutes of peace in my workshop at home,
to try and advance this project, which has gone nowhere in weeks.
Also, to clear my mind,
because we have coming up tomorrow night Zog's sponsorship event.
I need to raise at least 10 grand just
to cover costs for the next few races,
and it all depends on how Zogg's event goes down.
Sadly, Zogg can't join us for the event,
which is a shame because I can't
laugh at him if it goes wrong. On the plus side,
it means we'll roughly halve our champagne
consumption. I hope it does go well because without money coming in,
it could be a premature
end to my racing ambitions.
Right, next shock absorber. That goes over here.
The biggest problem we got with this car is the airbag light,
because with that on, you can't have an MOT, it's not safe to drive.
So we are on our way to go and see Andy,
the auto electrician, with his, hopefully,
his new computer that should be able to sort this airbag issue out.
There we go. We're in.
Hello.
How are you doing, Isaac?
Good, thank you. Are you?
I like it in here. Look at all the bits and kit.
It's getting there.
So, this has got an airbag issue.
Yep, still got the light on.
So what we're going to do, we're going to get the key.
Yep.
And we're just going to get the tester and we'll plug him into the OBD.
Okay.
And see what happens.
Brilliant job.
We're definitely plugged
in there, aren't we?
Yep.
Because we've got no communications whatsoever through the OBD.
We're going to have to go check some fuses
because we've got no communications whatsoever.
The quick visit to just gently plug it in is escalated a little bit.
We've checked all the fuses, we've checked all the basics,
but we cannot get into the airbag.
The worst scenario is I think take the airbag module out,
get a replacement one which is going
to be silly money or get it repaired and re-done.
See you soon. Take care mate, take care, see you soon.
Right so that wasn't very successful at all, that's not what I wanted.
If we can work out what it is with that module and pinpoint it,
hopefully it'll be an efficient fix but I'm not,
I'm not making any promises to anyone.
If I can't work this out and sort it out,
we'll end up having to send it off to a specialist,
which isn't very good for the start
of the new celebrity venture for the workshop.
It's brilliant seeing our MGB here in the Rotunda at the RAC.
It's where we launched the Delahaye when we'd done that.
This is how some very posh racing cars...
So Zog's invited a lot of people from around the motor industry,
all sorts of corners of it,
to come along for a drinks reception this evening
with a view to selling sponsorship on this car to
see if I can cover the costs of racing again this year.
It's the only way we can afford to do it.
Guests are invited.
Our job is, before they get here, we've got to put the stickers
on the car in the places we agreed and then cover the car.
Lovely. Wing left.
Rear window, right, driver's side.
Rear window, passenger side, rear left, very back.
Right, so hang on, you messed it up.
So that bit goes on the body.
So you want this bit?
No, that bit goes there.
Five is wrong.
That can't go there.
You wouldn't be able to see out, would you?
That's down here.
Right, that is the car done.
All the opportunities are indicated according to the map.
The last thing to do,
because they're going to be here in a minute,
let's get a cover on it.
Thank you
for making it.
Oh, yeah.
You okay?
Yeah.
They're looking for sponsorship.
Well, Richard invited you.
He said he could more or less guarantee on you for chipping in £50,000.
We could get you another champagne.
Thank you for coming this evening.
Very glad you could.
I mean, so it's going to be standing around and drink.
Help yourself.
Yes, we've met before.
Nice to see you.
You know, it's the first time I've ever actually done
that, and it works.
So if you'd like to follow me, come through here to the rotunda.
Follow me.
Thank you for coming, first of all, everybody.
The reason I've invited you to ply you with...
Drops of free champagne is to announce first
of all the announcement is that the smallest cog
classic car restoration workshop last year we went racing in an MGB GT
and the good and exciting news
for us is that I wanted to share is that we
are doing it again this year. There have been some
changes to the drivers. Anthony will once again be racing
but he'll be joined by as his co-driver me.
We've outlined the opportunities for sponsorship on our car.
We've marked it up with places where your logo could be,
everywhere where it says your name here.
We have set up a ballot box,
which is down by the room where we were as you came in.
You'll find next to it our cards referring
to each of these spots on the car.
They will be sealed. We will put them in the box.
We'll have a look at them over the next few days
and obviously be in touch with the successful bidders.
So have a lovely evening. Thank you for coming.
The bar remains open.
If you do feel like sponsoring, forms are over there.
Thank you for coming.
I thought it was a brilliant speech, you delivered it well,
and I'm confident we'll get a few sponsors.
I could hear a few mumbles in the background,
some positive words, so we shall find out.
That's the first thing.
Oh yes.
Are you modelling?
No, I just jumped in.
You are actually modelling.
I was showing this earlier.
the other day
Have you sold it yet?
Not yet.
You've literally sold your house.
We're selling it by the acre.
We could be quitting.
By the acre?
It would make a lot of money.
We could retire on this.
I'm telling you.
There's someone filling one in right now.
Is it, is it?
Is there stuff in there?
Oh, there's a few in there.
It's a bit weighty.
Oh, there
is weight
in there.
Oh, there is weight in there.
Oh, there is weight in there.
Oh, there is weight in there.
Oh, there is weight in there.
Oh, there is weight in there.
I think it worked, I really do.
Fact of the matter is, you look after that, take him home with you.
Will do.
I'll see you in the workshop tomorrow sometime.
Meanwhile, I've got important work down there, in or near the bar.
Yeah, well done.
Thank you.
Cheers, Rog.
Good job.
That was good, that was worth doing.
See you tomorrow.
Let's get in.
Yeah, props.
Don't get drunk.
Nope.
Right team, these are the envelopes from our little box at the RAC,
these are the bids to be our
sponsors. There is the Isaac and Blue Peter style thermometer.
Right, I'm going to open mine first.
Drum roll. £100. £100? For location 14.
£100 to be on Neil's wreath.
I agree.
Oh.
That's £100 Neil Greenhouse.
I wonder what the rest of me will be worth.
I sold your backside for £100.
Oh, right, right.
On the boot, £250.
I've beaten you, mate.
Have you?
I'm having a sticker put on my helmet.
Go on.
£500.
Let's have another one.
We're halfway to £1,000.
15 tea mugs.
15 tea mugs?
Tea mugs.
Okay, that's the mugs, yeah.
£200.
Oh.
Hey, that's not bad.
That's not bad.
For a tea mug.
£1,000.
Oh, hello.
Oh, look at that.
Big ones now.
That's now, you see.
Spot number one.
Where's that?
Bonnet.
Bonnet.
£500.
Two, which is the roof, and seven, which is the rear left.
£2,000 for each one.
This is four grand.
He's gone off the top of his little thing.
Ow!
Four grand.
Yes, thank you, chaps.
That is...
Is that the last envelope?
No.
No, no, no.
One more to go.
Well, wait a minute.
What?
Now that is interesting,
£14,400 for the rear right, £2,600 for the pockets.
Seriously, £1,000.
I'm lost for words.
Isaac?
What we on mate?
What does that come to?
Ooooooooh.
22.
Whoa!
What?
Twenty-two thousand nine hundred.
Just shy of twenty-three thousand pounds.
That's a lot of money.
We are covered for racing.
That is incredible.
So now, we've got to spend their money wisely for them by doing well.
And also, for our own sakes, the whole point is to demonstrate,
this is us, come and use us, we're great,
because look, our car looks fantastic
with all these cool sponsors on it,
and look at us, we're doing all right.
Brilliant. Well done, everybody.
Good.
Carry on. Let's get back to work.
That was a surprise, I thought it might go towards transport
or something, I didn't think it would be, it turned out
to be quite significant, that's a lot, it does bring a bit of pressure,
now we've got to deliver, it's more serious now.
Johnny's Maserati, we took it to an auto electrician,
he couldn't communicate with it and he's never dealt with anything like
that before and it's always good when they start saying,
oh it needs to be used with Ferrari diagnostics which...
No, that's just scary. We don't want to be involved
in that thousands of thousands of pounds of nightmare.
So, after quite a lot of research,
it all leads to the airbag module itself.
So, we take that one out, swap this over,
and fingers crossed, the airbag light will be out.
And then we can finally get the car out of the workshop.
Right, come on, Maserati, let's play ball here.
Now, all that's left to do is fit this one,
and hopefully, this solves our issue.
I hope this works.
Here we go, Maserati. All right, come on.
It
works.
All the lights out, look at that and hopefully Harvey
the dog is watching over the car now in
doggy heaven and he loves it.
Right so now we'll put all the interior back in and then we can
service it and it can go, finally.
Right I'm going to have a lie down.
It is race weekend,
I'm excited, genuinely I'm not,
I'm anxious but it's a good excited. There is pressure,
Honestly, I've only ever driven a car once.
I don't particularly want to crash it, it's my car.
Also, I'd be letting the guys down rather badly,
and also, of course, now I'd be letting
our new sponsors down rather badly.
They haven't put their money into our race team
for me to throw the thing at the pit lane wall
at first opportunity.
Oh, here it is, Alton Park.
Morning.
Morning.
Good morning.
How you feeling?
All right, it's gonna be easier when we've got the car.
While we've been busy securing sponsorship
our motorsport guru Rick has been doing some
last-minute fine-tuning to the MGB.
I think that's him. That's Rick. There he is. Which
one's the one on Star Wars that gives you advice?
Is it Yoda? He is our Yoda. This is Yoda. Yoda,
hello mate, nice to see you.
Right, let's have a look at it.
Do we look professional?
We do. So the purpose
of today, race day tomorrow, testing day today,
we're testing the car, giving it a shake down.
Learning about it, but we're also testing us.
You've driven the car a fair bit, I've only driven the car once.
We've neither of us driven at Alton Park.
Is that bad that we haven't driven at Alton Park, or is it alright?
It's a big sharp learning curve.
Okay, sharp learning curve for us.
Here we are again, we're at another race track.
I had a chat with my old racing teacher, Abby Eaton,
and she said all the tracks we've done in the past,
probably difficulty, 6 out of 10.
Donington Park, an 8 out of 10.
Which, automatically, I felt sick.
It's not my first time driving Doris,
the MG, it's Richard's first time.
So I feel the pressure has shifted slightly to him
and everyone here is going to be watching him more than they are me.
And me.
No rivalry, but I don't want Richard Hammond to beat me.
I'm still going out
for a quicker time.
My plan is going to get out and drive as close to granny pace as I get,
feel my way into it slowly.
Hammond, do not overdo it.
Go steady!
I'll try.
Well, not too steady.
This is it then.
I'm going out on the track for real now rather than
the last few times I've done it on a
computer.
This is weird.
Oh, this is slow.
Here he comes.
He's going well, isn't he?
You'd be interested to see what this lap is.
Hey, I thought we weren't timing this.
We're not.
Well, you are.
There's no competition at all, obviously.
The thing is, at the end of the day,
you don't want to be in the lead.
You know, Niki Lauda and James Hunt's type of rivalry,
but a little bit of rivalry isn't a bad thing.
Thank you.
It's Friday, everyone's gone racing.
We've still got this Rolls Royce to do,
so it's not the best for them to be going away.
It's going to be a bit of a mammoth hill to climb.
We just haven't got the time.
We're so far behind at the moment.
Deadline is massively creeping up on us.
I suppose someone's got to guard the fort, but...
Yeah, we're under quite a lot of pressure now, I think.
We haven't got long.
I hope when they come back from racing,
they're happy to all jump back on and get this out the door.
With a few laps under my belt,
I'm starting to get to grips with the car and the track.
So it's time to hand over to young Anthony.
I reckon he won't be hanging around.
There he is.
He's going a bit slow to me.
If I could slow down there.
Did it sound wrong?
Didn't sound right.
Coming in, coming in.
Oh, dear.
Come out the last corner, and she just went,
It's like bump bump.
Oh, hello, that's not good, head gasket.
So head gasket.
Oh, yeah, go on.
The plunk.
If the head gasket's gone, do we have another head gasket?
Yes, I ordered it yesterday.
He's there at the workshop.
Luckily for us, Rick's workshop is only 50 minutes down the road,
which gives us a fighting chance of fixing
the engine ahead of the race tomorrow.
But it's given us another problem.
This wasn't for us actually about testing
the car, it was about testing us.
About Anthony learning the track and me learning the track and the car.
So we will be not as experienced as we should be when we race tomorrow.
It's all right, sponsors are looking,
it's nobody's fault, it's just one of those things.
The good thing is you can't see
any cracks in the cylinder
head or no cracks in the block
so it is something that's fixable
but even this is like open heart surgery on the side of the road
because you know one little mistake now is big consequences.
I like it. Hello.
Good morning.
Morning, chaps.
Neil, morning.
Morning.
How are we?
Not too bad.
So, what is the score?
The score is, I think we've got a good chance of doing the race.
Rick and Neil have replaced the head gasket,
but yesterday's problem also damaged the engine block.
So, it's anybody's guess if the car will last the race.
I'm excited for this one.
I know we've got an issue with the car, but...
We're here to race, and today is not about getting a trophy
or anything like that,
because it's Richard's first race,
it's my first time at Alton, so if we can get to the finish,
I'll see that as an achievement again.
Excited! I'm genuinely looking forward to it.
I'd be more relaxed if I could get this attached.
Go on. Isaac? Yeah? I can't get my thing on.
Y'all.
Y'all, could you please?
No, no, that way. Oh, thank you. There you go.
Being a bit thick. Hold on. Yeah, right.
Like a pro, there is a professional racing driver there
that I know really well.
I'm not saying he was the stick, but he was, and he's laughing at me.
I'm not laughing at you.
Stop it.
I'm not.
In order to qualify for the race,
both Anthony and I need to get three timed laps under our belts.
Here we go. This is it.
Through these barriers, out onto the track.
It's qualifying only, Richard.
We're not racing yet, remember that.
This will be a timed lap, so he'll have a good time, I think.
Richard's very humble.
Despite what he says, he does know what he's doing.
We've been watching him just these first laps.
Actually, he was out in a bit of a crowd.
It was an unfortunate spot on the track
in the qualifying session with people in his way.
But he's managed to control that really well.
Is he? I don't think I got one clear lap.
But I did, and it was great fun.
I loved it.
Can't wait
for the race.
Coming now, isn't he?
The 2.16.
2.16?
Yeah. Bloody hell.
That's the result.
2.16.
Four seconds better than yesterday.
Where's he put us? Nice! That's good, isn't it?
That's really good.
That's good news. Excellent. Good. Hurrah!
Our lap times mean we've qualified fourth in our class for the race.
Not a bad start. And the engine hasn't exploded... yet.
So, plan will be, I'm going to be starting amidst 42 cars.
I will try very hard, first and foremost, not to get clobbered.
Just survive the first few laps.
My only real moment of relief
is going to be getting through
that first corner, first
right hander. 42 cars piling into it as fast
as they can go on a freshly damp track on
fairly cold tyres. Right, here we go.
This is
brilliant.
Right, I am on the
starting grid.
Red lights are on.
I've got my ear.
I've passed quite
a few cars.
I can't
hear!
Take this in while I can, he's got a problem.
Sorry mate.
Come on Doris!
That'll try him.
Go on then!
You'll not hear it.
218.
218?
Good lad.
All I want to do is pass in.
Get in.
Get in.
Get in.
Get in.
I'm going to get in.
There you go.
Inside.
That's you done.
He's absolutely loving it.
I'm going to take this kid home now.
217, that one. So, he's going down.
Thank you.
I think we call him in.
We'll be right back.
Keep coming in. And stop.
Ha!
I love that. Every second of it.
How would it rain?
Well done.
My job is done. It's now up to Anthony to bring it home.
17. He's doing all right.
Good.
Third in class.
22nd.
Right.
Third in class.
Could have...
22nd overall.
But third in class.
That's good.
That's really good.
2.30.
Bloody hell.
Well done.
That's what it is.
The second flag.
There it is.
So still third in class.
Go on, fella.
Get it across the line this time and we are done.
We finished
another race.
We finished another race.
Brilliant.
We bloody did it.
Well done, everybody.
I could get used to this.
2.17.
Fab.
I could get used to this.
2.17.
As a result, that's P3, that's podium.
Richard did a great stint,
and Nan's done a really good job, spitting with rain.
You never know how much has dropped on the next corner,
so he's brought it home. It's great.
Really chuffed. The whole team's done really well, pulled together.
I'm really proud of what they've achieved over
the weekend, so really well done.
Thank you very much.
I've already got one.
Cheers all.
You're welcome.
To racing and to finishing and to being placed.
Technically on the podium.
I mean, that is...
That's good.
It's good.
I've eaten all of it.
You've just eaten all of it.
I don't know why it didn't add any gum.
That's two races in a row now we've finished.
So this is showing that as a team,
We're progressing. It's getting better and better.
I got it.
I loved it. I love being in the zone, in the moment, away from it all.
And if the business's purpose now is for me to support that,
to make that possible, I'm happy.
This is brilliant fun. This is why we do it. We need more of this,
which means I need to make the business work. Simple as that.
So Johnny Vaughan's Maserati.
Managed the motorway fine,
but I am now in snarly London traffic.
I want to go into his radio show and hand him the keys,
but I can't do that if his radio show's finished.
I've got to get from West London to the centre,
in the rain, in an old Italian car, in time.
I have been given strict instructions to get to the studio
to be on Johnny Vaughan's show and hand over the keys at 6.20.
Current ETA, 6.25.
That'll
do.
I'm coming in.
Hello.
Hello.
Radio X, I'm Johnny Vaughan. This is the 4-7 Bang.
Richard Hammond's just literally walked to the studio. Hi, Richie.
Hi, I walked in casually. I hope you saw.
It was really casual.
I kind of... Did I sashay?
You had the swagger of a champion.
Swagger, that's the word.
You had the swagger of a champion.
I swaggered.
How are you? I haven't seen you since my trip to your workshop.
I'm very well indeed, thank you. How are you?
Yeah, not too bad. Have you brought my car back?
Yes.
What's in the envelope?
Don't tell me that's the invoice.
It's the bill, mate.
Yeah, I thought this would be like showbiz freebie.
No, you see, this is the real world.
This is the bill in the brown envelope.
Oh my God, it actually is a taxi.
You are a shocker.
And that's not a bill.
Oh, wait a second, ladies and gentlemen.
There's an MOT test certificate.
Yay!
It's parked just down the road.
What?
Hazards on, that's all right in London, is it?
You can park where you like.
I don't know, I'm from Herefordshire.
Ford Escort RS 2000.
What this car is, is a big blue slice of humble pie.
Oh hey, here we go.
We are properly up against it with the Rolls Royce.
This deadline is a deadline. You cannot move D-Day.
To the wire doesn't quite count.
Because if there's a mistake now, there's no fixing it.
